So I've finally lost enough to need new clothes (77#!). I was in Old Navy yesterday and found myself trying on items in sizes that pre-op Sarah would have tried on, ie XXL dresses...of course they swallowed me up (insert dressing room happy dance here!), but I couldn't bring myself to even grab the Large off the rack since, "There's no way I could be a Large!" I ended up leaving without a dress at all!! How did y'all get over this??

Just do it are get a fried to go do it for you have fun with it you deserve it this is what you worked for

I hear ya! I usually bring in several sizes and work up/down one size at a time. I'm sure that's what I'll be doing once I start shopping lol

It would help if there was a standard size. Some places I'm a large other xl. And some the xl doesn't fit. I can vary even in the same brand. Don't get me started on pants and jeans. I'm almost afraid to try stuff on. I have a couple of pairs of 14 jeans but some 16 I can't get on. Weird.

It all depends where they are in the pills when they cut them usually 50-10 pieces at at time that way sizes very even with the same brand and when the sew it the could put a little deeper seam which makes it smaller so just take a few different sizes are even same sizes cause everyone could be a little different

Denim for jeans is cut by hand so even in the same brand and same size it's always best to try them on, may fit differently. I learned that when I worked at Avenue.
